My scumbag sister stole my husband? I'm a scumbag and married my cowardly brother-in-law
Chapter 72: There are only so many good things. If you want to get them, you have to seize the oppor
"Everything I teach is naturally good," Wen Wan said.
Just kidding, she was a successful female entrepreneur in her previous life. Her business experience is enough to write a whole book. Teaching others is a piece of cake for her.
Wen Wan said: "Some things cannot be done just because you want to do them, at least you cannot succeed just because you want to do them.
Apart from anything else, can you see how these people make money now? "
Xie Changlin looked over and observed carefully for a moment, "They were selling eggs, hair ornaments, silk scarves and socks, needles and thread, rice cakes, and there was one person selling rice tofu."
"Then what?" Wen Wan asked.
Xie Changlin was confused when asked, "What then?"
"And then they can make money by selling the stuff, is that what you mean?"
Xie Changlin nodded, "Yes!"
"Bullshit!" Wen Wan said, "If business is so good, everyone will have good business and make a lot of money.
Is this the fact?
Both are selling needles and thread, but the one on the left is doing better business, while the one on the right just asks passersby and leaves without even bothering to bargain.
Also, they both sell rice cakes, so why is this boss doing so much business, while Wen Ya only has people asking about the price but no one buying?"
"..."Xie Changlin was stunned by the question.
“The reason is simple. The man on the left who sells needles and thread has connections and can get fashionable patterns at a low price.
The guy on the right bought the goods from a scalper. Not only are the items old and outdated, but they are also expensive.
There are two rice cake vendors left. Do you see what's wrong?"
Xie Changlin thought about it and asked tentatively: "Whose rice cake is cheaper than your sister Wen Ya's?"
“Not only is it cheaper, it’s not much cheaper.
Rice cake is made of rice. If the price is higher than rice, it will definitely not sell. Because everyone is not rich and has relatively cheap rice to eat, they will not buy expensive rice cake. This is called living at home.
The reason why this boss's rice cake business is so popular is that his rice cakes are cheaper than rice, and much cheaper.
Guess how this boss did it? Mind you, it’s impossible for him to lose money.”
“……” This time Xie Changlin really couldn’t guess it.
"Because the rice this boss uses is cheap."
"The price of rice is uniform and it cannot be much cheaper."
"Rice can't really be much cheaper, but what about broken rice? What about dirty rice that grain stations sell to farmers to feed their livestock?"
Xie Changlin couldn't believe it.
"Are you stupid?" Wen Wan said with a smile, "These broken and dirty rice are half bought and half given away, and the price is much cheaper than rice.
The boss will screen and wash the rice when he buys it home, pick out the impurities in the rice, and finally grind it into powder using a stone mill.
This way the quality of the rice cake remains unchanged, but the price will be much cheaper than rice.
You can make money by doing this, but it is hard-earned money. If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask the boss and his wife if they work until the early hours of the morning every day.
Moreover, there are only so many broken and dirty rice in the grain station, so it is impossible to make a fortune.
But the guy selling needles and thread is different. He has connections and can get fashionable and cheap goods.
Don’t underestimate those things because they are cheap. It is precisely because they are cheap that more people buy them. The profit margin is large, and the money earned is no less than that earned by working hard to make rice cakes.”
After hearing this, Xie Changlin still didn't understand what she wanted to tell him.
Wen Wan stopped beating around the bush and said, "What I want to tell you is that connections are very important in the business circle. If you have connections, you can get easy and profitable business. If you don't have connections, you can only work like a cow or a horse to earn a few hard-earned dollars.
The most important thing for ordinary people to study is not the study itself, but to make friends in different circles.
You were born in the countryside, your family has been poor farmers for three generations, and the only people you can interact with are farmers.
When you go to high school in town, you can make friends with classmates there. Their parents are no longer farmers like your parents. They include workers, doctors, teachers, and even a few leading cadres.
This is just high school. When you go to college, your classmates will be different. Their parents are leaders, factory directors, managers, etc.
If there are any policy changes, or ways to make money, or sources of goods that others cannot get, these people will definitely know before you do. Sometimes just a casual word can make you earn a lot of money. "
Xie Changlin was still digesting her words. Xie Changqing couldn't bear it any longer and looked at Wen Wan and asked, "Why did you teach him these?"
In this era where people emphasize propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, Wen Wan's words do seem to be flattering and even fawning on the weak.
"What's wrong with teaching these?" Wen Wan said disapprovingly: "The world is cruel, there are only so many good things, if you want to get them you have to seize the opportunity first.
Just like chasing a beautiful girl, others are shameless and rush forward to show their affection, while you proudly wait for them to come to you, and you comfort yourself by deceiving yourself by saying that since she is yours, no one else can take her away from you.
The result is that you watch the beautiful girl being chased away by someone else.
Money is like a beautiful girl. If you act like a good kid and wait for others to give it to you, then just wait to starve to death!
What I taught him was the way to survive and to make rational use of resources, not the evil doctrines that harm people.
As long as it is not illegal, some means can be used reasonably. Anyway, if you don't use them, there are plenty of people who will. How do you think those rich people in ancient times became rich?
Only if you have money can you let your children study, take the imperial examinations, or spend money to buy an official position, then you will have power. Only when you have money and power can the family prosper.
Those who teach you propriety, righteousness, and integrity are the ones who themselves are the least likely to abide by them. They teach you so that you will behave and not steal their things. "
Xie Changqing thought about it carefully and actually felt that what she said made some sense. It was really weird.
I really want to see what's in her mind that makes her so different.
Although Xie Changlin didn't quite understand, he accepted his theory of social circles and nodded, "I understand."
"So are you still going to school?"
"Read" Xie Changlin said.
"That's right, you are only sixteen years old, like the sun at five or six in the morning, you have a bright future, why are you in such a hurry?
Besides, studying doesn’t interfere with doing business. You can sell some things here on Sundays and try to gain experience.”
I don’t know whether Wen Ya is doing business seriously or not. She doesn’t keep her eyes on the potential customers passing by, but looks around here and there.
As expected, Wen Ya not only saw her, but also stood up excitedly and waved at her.
If you didn’t know her expression, you would really think she was a sister with whom she had a very good relationship.
Wen Wan didn't bother to pay attention to her. She turned around and left, pretending she saw nothing. Unexpectedly, Wen Ya was already so shameless that she ran over and grabbed her.
"Wanwan, you are so silly. I called you so many times but you didn't even hear me."
"I'm deaf," Wen Wan said expressionlessly.
I don’t know if he has made any money after doing business for so long, but his face is getting thicker and thicker. Wen Ya still had a smile on her face after hearing Wen Wan’s words that could make people feel choked.
"I've been too busy these days to visit you. How are you doing?"
"I'm very busy. If you have something to say, just say it. If not, get out." Wen Wan continued to be disrespectful.
"..." Wen Ya's practice was not enough, and her expression became ugly for a moment, "Didn't your brother-in-law receive an invitation to contribute to a literary magazine?
The village chief, accountant, and clerk gave us face and sent a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil to our home. Your brother-in-law and I couldn't finish them, and we were afraid they would go bad, so we made rice cakes and sold them here.
It's made with fresh rice and is very chewy. Sell some back and let them try it. I guarantee it'll be delicious."
Wen Wan ignored her words and said suspiciously: "The invitation letter is not an acceptance letter. You guys are quite good at celebrating in advance!"
"I've already received the invitation letter, so it won't take a minute to get it approved. It's not like your brother-in-law hasn't published an article before.
The village chief and his friends are too polite, we are just being too kind to refuse.”
"Is that so?" Wen Wan curled her lips, "Since the manuscript has been published, the magazine should send a sample copy!
I really want to learn it, can you lend it to me?"
